This Work Moves Forsyth County Forward

Working families across Forsyth County are doing everything right and still struggling to keep up with the cost of living. One setback can disrupt housing, employment, or a child’s progress in school.

Forsyth Forward is how our community responds.

What’s happening in Forsyth County

Nearly four in ten households are living in poverty or are ALICE

Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.

These are working families who cannot afford basic needs like housing, childcare, food, and transportation. Many are one emergency away from crisis, despite being employed and contributing to our community every day.

How United Way responds

United Way of Forsyth County brings organizations, funding, and services together so families can access the support they need in one coordinated system.

This means:

housing support that helps families stay in their homes
childcare and education support that keeps children on track
job access, transportation, and financial coaching that help parents move toward stability

Not one service. Not one program.

Connected support that leads to real, measurable results.

Why it matters

When families are stable:

children do better in school
parents can stay employed
businesses and neighborhoods are stronger

This work strengthens Forsyth County as a whole.
